First TEST: NZ v England

Status
Not open for further replies.

I'm well aware of that, everyone in the cricketing world is aware of the batsmen f***ing up again. I am talking about the selection of the bowlers, I'm not blaming the bowlers for us being 58 all out, or the selectors for us being 58 all out, I'm talking about the on-going muddled selection. It's a different conversation
Ok. I agree, it’s odd that Putin only got 70 odd percent of the vote in a one party state

Beef hula hoops imo
 
Of the bowlers

It’s the batsman that fucked up
They have struggled to find replacements for the last good generation, problem is they mostly retired about 5 years ago :shock:

It is what you get when you put all the eggs in the one day basket ;)

Looking forward to hearing old Bob's take on this later...

Malan drops a relatively simple chance.
I might tune into to talkSPORT to hear old Andy Jacob's reaction :)

aye but... One Day/ T-20 cricket ;)
 
I havent seen our innings so can't comment but why have we played an extra seamer when we have struggled with the bat all winter
 
I watched our innings, perfect storm, great bowling conditions, world class swing bowling, shite shots, great catches and virtually no practice before the series
 
Stokes isn’t fit to bowl

As much as I dislike the bloke, Swann made a good point on TMS. Cricket is heading in the football direction....”saaaaack him”

It is yeah

Thatis pretty much our best batting lineup, bar maybe the extra player.

There are bigger issues at hand here as to why or batsman struggle to bat time....at times


Not wanting to excuse them but if we ever want teams to win away more, the preparation is just not good enough

The warm up game to this series was just about the most amateurish thing I have ever seen

Yep indeed

I will caveat it tho as NZ have been as badly prepared
 
LOL.

I didnt realise that Short and Bain were in charge of the England cricket team. Absolutely pathetic. England are the Sunderland of the red ball cricketing world. The U19s did little better in the winter so there aint a lot to look forward to.

I'm a fan of Boult. I think he's a great bowler. New Zealand produce some amazing players given their population
Yes and they have some pride in their performance. wonder how much they are paid in comparison with our losers? Cricket team is like our football team, too many big time charlies who should be concentrating on their technique instead of their bank balance.

That is ridiculously unfair like, the bit about the money is just not true

We've struggled away from home, we are very good at home though

The bit about the money is probably spot on. I've seen the attitude of the England cricketers up front and it stinks. Preening around after games, some refusing to sign autographs and probably too quick to get to the bank.

I'm told that this is the 6th lowest England total ever.

Imagine excusing them because they are playing away from home. Haway man, man up. The England cricketers get absolutely everything they want. Pampered to an unhealthy degree they have at Loughborough and elsewhere probably the best facilities that you can get. Like the footballers their mentality is fragile. As soon as the going gets tough they fold and cant be arsed. Bairstow is a right arrogant fucker. Seen him up close after England games.

The ECB is of course filled with preening, arrogant arseholes.

Are you joking? This England team stay behind a long long time signing autographs, I've seen them do for it hours.

You are talking absolute and utter nonsense with regards to attitude, this is one of the most hard-working, and accessible England teams

Whether you think they are any good or not is your opinion, but the stuff about having a bad attitude is just down right lies

Sounds like you have never met the likes of Joe Root or Mo Ali then

You sound like a 100% football fan trying to bring that attitude into cricket, it stinks

Bairstow is an arrogant fucker? Hahahahaha

Jesus wept man, go to bed, he is the exact opposite of that

Possibly the worst post ever on the cricket forum

An oxymoron if ever there was one regarding the England cricket team.

The only one I'd excuse is Stokes.

No mate you are talking absolute nonsense here, actual nonsense

To pick out Bairstow and call him arrogant, I mean :lol::lol::lol:

He is known as being one of the nicest men in cricket, if not a little socially awkward

Laughing at your post actually

Aye Joe Root, Alistair Cook, Mo Ali, Chris Woakes

They really are arrogant aren'tthey

Stick to the football mate

With this and Sunderland I am transported back to my childhood :eek:

:lol: 100% my thoughts


This is a ridiculous tour, just added on the end of the Ashes like
